Lopez v Janozwicz...if Janoxicz can maintain his focus and concentration in this match,I feel he can defeat Lopez.

Ferrer v Simon...this match has the potential to go 5 sets,both players,play similar games,I give the edge of Ferrer.

Isner v Muller....I didnt realize Isner was still in the tournament..

I haven't gotten to watch JJ yet, but if he is form, it is winnable. Would be very nice for Isner to take out Muller, although I don't love when he plays Novak...

Yeah, if I were a Djokovic fan, I would want the opposite outcome.

 

[Vince Evert]

Djokovic, Janowicz, Ferrer and Isner will prevail.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Djokovic, Janowicz, Ferrer and Isner will prevail.

I am going with Feli to defeat J Janowicz

 

[Kirijax]

Dayum I love this tournament. My favorite Grand Slam by far. Although they need to curb the uniform colors a bit. Getting way too extreme for most tennis fans tastes.

Australian>>>Wimbledon>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>French>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>U.S. Open

I agree. Lopez's lefty serve and attacking game will be trouble for Janowicz. Lopez isn't the typical Spaniard -- he won't try to beat Janowicz from the baseline; he'll be at the net, ending points as quickly as possible.

It's the struggle of being both a djokovic and American tennis fan. If big John had a chance in hell of winning the whole thing, I might even root for him. I rooted for Mardy against novak in that Cincy final, under the logic that Novak had enough master's crowns.

Müller can be a pretty good player when he's in good form. Has a deadly lefty serve and is good at the net. No saying Isner will beat him.

Yep, this is by no means a gimme for Isner. I expect at least two tiebreaks, maybe more. Probably at least 4 sets, too.

To my mind Janowicz will murder Lopez, maybe literally.

 

[Kirijax]

To my mind Janowicz will murder Lopez, maybe literally.

Or at least scream him to death.

LOL :lolz:

My wishes.....Feli, Ferru and Isner winning!

 

[Kirijax]

The "Little Three" are still in it and that makes for a very very interesting tournament. Despite the loss of Federer which leaves a big gaping hole but what can you do.

Mr. Sharapova is already in, and the Tennis Samurai and the Robotoanic should get their places in the 4th rd today.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Becker-Milos about to start. I am expecting a tough match here. Becker is a good player.

Raonic leads 3-2 in the 1st. No breaks.

How is it so far?

Milos is sharp but wasted too many break points early on. His serve is on.
Becker did great digging out of a 0-40 hole early.
